Khanya Mashabela has been announced as this year's curator of the MTN X UJ New Contemporaries Award Programme, launched by UJ Arts & Culture in partnership with the MTN SA Foundation.
The Legacy Panel chose Mashabela as the 2022 curator in February. The programme requires her to conduct extensive desk research on contemporary South African visual artists. During the research phase, Mashabela will visit studios, galleries and museums in as many provinces as possible, read relevant contemporary literature and consult widely with other experts in the field of contemporary South African art.
